UNDER 10s By RAYAN MOORE THE Euroa under 10s were on the road this round taking on Shepparton East in a fiercely contested game. The backline stood up to early pressure with Izzy Limbrick, Riley Burden, and Billy Harper starring in defence. Up forward Jed Enright, Will Swift, and Lewis Riley were buzzing around causing havoc resulting in goals to Lenny Moore and Bailey Nunn. After half time the team came out all guns blazing, with senior players Cody O’Bree, James Jackson, and Jett Fielden leading from the front. Hudson King showed the opposition a clean pair of heels all night and is very elusive with the ball in hand. Young guns Bohdi Cummins, Lucas Mason, and Emmett Arrowsmith continue to show plenty of improvement in their games. Roy Burton goaled late in the game to cap off a very good night for the players. It was a fantastic team performance on Friday night, keeping Shepp East goalless in the second half. This weekend we play at the Memorial Oval on Saturday at 8:30am vs Shepparton United. It would be great to get plenty of supporters to the game to see the future of football in Euroa on show. UNDER 12s By JASON WILLIAMSON EUROA Under 12s travelled to Shepparton for the return leg of their back-to-back clash with Shepparton Notre Maroon and came away with a strong 38 to 23 win. The game opened with both teams battling hard across the ground. Shepparton Notre struck first with 1.2 before Euroa responded through Jaegar Saxon, who kicked truly after the team had kicked three behinds. Euroa led narrowly at quarter-time, 9 to 8, but Notre gained the early upper hand in the second term with two quick goals. Archie Buchanan kept Euroa in touch with a late major, while Carter Simmons stood tall down back, repelling multiple attacks. Euroa trailed 15 to 21 at the main break. The third quarter saw Euroa lift, winning clearances and applying forward pressure. Bailey Trotter was everywhere, and Saxon kicked his second to edge Euroa in front. A clever snap from Slater O’Bree gave them a six point buffer at three-quarter time. Euroa finished the game full of run, with plenty of possession in the final term. Despite some inaccuracy in front of goal, kicking only one major, they held Notre scoreless and sealed a 15-point win. It was another impressive all round team performance from the young Magpies, with every player contributing and some great passages of team play on show.
